Chapter 673: The Battle of Jincheng

This is not Chang'an, but a small city of Jincheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Lebanese people closed their homes and did not dare to go out to escape the fighting in the streets.

Li Tianqi only saw at this time that those aliens were using scimitars and sharp weapons commonly used by the Turks, and in just a while, they held scimitars and quickly cut down many soldiers defending the city.

To his great surprise, several pairs of Turkic centaurs rushed out of several alleys at the same time, surrounding the defenders from both flanks and rear.

There is no doubt that the soldiers were indeed dressed in Turkic uniforms.

How did the Turks really attack?

Li Tianqi had to flash such a thought.

"Xiu ......" three crossbow arrows flew head-on, he reacted in time, and immediately bounced up, and the three crossbow arrows hit the earthen wall.

Before he could gain a foothold, three or four Turkic soldiers came across with swords.

Although those Turkic soldiers were fierce, they were much inferior to Li Tianqi, who had decades of internal strength at this time, not to mention that he also knew spells.

After a while, Li Tianqi knocked them all down and quickly put on the divine armor for himself.

As far as the eye can see, there are many Turkic soldiers, and in only half an hour, the Tang army will be wiped out by them, and the city will obviously fall into their hands.

Suddenly, a cry sounded in the west of the city, and Li Tianqi followed the prestige, and it turned out that the Turkic soldiers there couldn't wait to start burning, killing and looting the people.

It was because of the monsters that he stepped into the rivers and lakes, and when he saw the soldiers and ruffians who were killing the people, he suddenly became angry, so he plundered to that area.

Three more Turkic soldiers met him and stopped him, and Li Tianqi split the three people under his palm like a swimming dragon, and in a moment he had already rushed to the west of the city.

Twenty or so Turkic soldiers were robbing the people's property, and many of the people were lying in pools of blood, and they found that the imposing Li Tianqi was rushing over, and the leading elderly soldiers roared loudly and hurriedly beckoned people and horses to surround him.

Originally, it was just a casual order, but the voice and tone that fell on Li Tianqi's ears made him feel a little strange - why did this person dressed as a Turkic soldier speak Nanzhao?

Although Li Tianqi did not understand Nanzhao, he could still identify it from their pronunciation, which was completely different from Turkic. He suddenly remembered the scene when Saibei had encountered the Turkic soldiers and the Tang army, and if he and Qiqige hadn't appeared in time, the two armies would have been defeated.

At this time, there is such a situation, and it seems that the same reason seems to be the same, that is, someone is secretly deliberately provoking, intending to provoke a war between the Turkic state and the Tang Dynasty.

And according to this, I looked carefully again, and sure enough, I found that the facial features of these people were still very different from those of the Turks, and they were indeed disguised.

Seeing that group of soldiers rushing towards him with a bright scimitar, Li Tianqi was unhurried, he was already very confident in his hands and feet at this time, but the injury in his lower back made his movements somewhat sluggish.

The blood-soaked wounds were obvious, and the group of ruffians had apparently discovered Li Tianqi's weakness, and as soon as they met him, they unceremoniously swung their knives at the place where he was injured.

When dealing with a few Turkic soldiers, Li Tianqi can still be at ease, but when dealing with ten or twenty soldiers who attack in unison, the people in the rivers and lakes will have some scruples, after all, the soldiers on the battlefield advance and retreat in a disciplined manner, and at the same time attack and cover each other, for a while, he did not see the opportunity, and could only dodge the attack with his flexible body skills.

Seeing that he was only defensive, the leader thought that he had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and once again ordered his men to attack in the words of the Southern Edict.

This group of people was eager to fight for their merits, so they dispersed in a hurry, and the formation became scattered, Li Tianqi had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, and as soon as he turned around, he rushed straight to the leader.

The leader didn't expect that Li Tianqi, who was surrounded two zhang away, would come so quickly, so suddenly, and he was a little stunned, and he was slapped in the chest by Li Tianqi with a palm before he could pull out his scimitar, and he fell to the ground with a scream.

Li Tianqi's palm was very heavy, firstly, he was not very clear about the power of his internal strength in the past few decades, and secondly, he really hated these soldiers who were unarmed against him, so he unceremoniously gave the other party a palm, but unexpectedly, the leader was so vulnerable that he had fallen to the ground.

The dragons had no leader, those soldiers were panicked for a while, and there was no order, so Li Tianqi seized the opportunity, and easily overturned many soldiers, and the remaining soldiers saw that Li Tianqi was so brave that they did not dare to fight, discarded the looted property, and fled one after another.

Those grieving ordinary people immediately threw themselves in front of their relatives who fell in pools of blood, crying bitterly, and the scene made people feel sad.

Li Tianqi sighed with emotion, protected his wounds, and was about to walk away, but unexpectedly, fifty or sixty Nanzhao soldiers pretending to be Turkic soldiers rushed over here.

Li Tianqi looked up, it turned out that there were not many remaining Tang army defenders, and the besieging enemy troops began to clear the neighborhoods in the city.

The situation was very critical, and the other party had obviously suffered a loss, and no longer attacked indiscriminately, but formed a formation again and besieged him.

"Kill!" Suddenly a loud shout came from the east of the city, followed by a bunch of feather arrows flew in, many enemy soldiers fell to the ground because of the arrows, Li Tianqi followed the prestige, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it was actually Yang Wen who led the army to rush to the rescue, they were dressed in red armor, and the momentum was shocking, it seemed that they had broken through the blockade of the enemy army, and they were rushing to this side.

Those Nanzhao soldiers found a large number of Tang reinforcements, and they did not fall in love with the battle, and retreated quickly and methodically.

"Apocalypse?" Yang Wen held the spear in his hand and ran over quickly, with a happy face, "Why are you here?" It's great that you're okay! ”

"Yang Wen, you came too timely." Li Tianqi was also happy, "If you hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't have been able to resist the tide of the Southern Zhao Army alone." ”

"No, they're Turkic." Yang Wen asked strangely, "What, what did you find?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "They are indeed not Turkic, but Nanzhao people disguised themselves, I clearly heard their words, I can't be wrong." They should be trying to sow discord between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty and profit from it! ”

"Well......" Yang Wen pondered, "if that's the case, then this information is too valuable." Let's see if we can catch a few alive and ask for it. ”

Suddenly, he saw the blood stains on Li Tianqi's waist and exclaimed, "Are you injured?" ”

Li Tianqi smiled bitterly: "It's okay." They couldn't help me. I met the demons and was wounded by their arrows. ”

"Report to the general, the Turkic soldiers have all withdrawn from the city and burrowed into the dense forest...... "A soldier Cao rushed over to report.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, collect troops and go back to the city, see if you catch any alive?" Yang Wen commanded.

"Yes." The soldier gave up his hand and quickly left.

Yang Wen helped Li Tianqi aside, took out the medicine bag he was carrying, bandaged Li Tianqi, and said, "Let's find a place to have a good chat." ”

The siege of Jincheng has been solved, and the residents of the city, under the leadership of the temporary government office, have begun to clean up the streets.

Li Tianqi and Yang Wen chatted freely under the Chinese military tent.

Li Tianqi learned that Yang Wen had caught a small dragon drum and was not punished in the end, but there was an enemy army disturbing the people, so he was ordered to lead the army to find the enemy and fight.

At this time, he happened to lead his army here, and received the report of the soldiers sent by the defenders of Jincheng to ask for help outside the city, so he rushed over non-stop, but the enemy army saw that a large number of Tang troops arrived, so they retreated without a fight, and all of them retreated.

After the whole city was counted, it was clear that the enemy army did not leave any survivors, and some of the captured enemy soldiers had already prepared poison, and quietly committed suicide after seeing the friendly troops leaving without them.

Despite this, Yang Wen also believed Li Tianqi's words in his heart, those people were not real Turks, otherwise how could there be no capture of the enemy in such a scuffle in the city? Obviously, the other party had premeditated and deliberately exposed flaws, in essence, in order to provoke the already tense relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.

Li Tianqi learned from Yang Wen that there was indeed a riot launched by the Nanzhao and Tufan people in Chang'an, but it was quickly suppressed by the prepared imperial court, and it did not cause serious consequences, but the monsters that appeared at night from time to time harassed the normal life of some people.

"Report-" A soldier flew over, with a panicked expression, as if he had discovered something that made him panic.

Yang Wenzheng said: "What are you panicking about? ”

The soldier trembled and said, "Report...... General, there was a group of about 50 foot soldiers of our army who were attacked on the outskirts of the city, and none of them survived. They...... All they have left is a skin......"

"What? There is such a thing! Yang Wen couldn't help but stand up from the general's chair.

Li Tianqi was also shocked, but he remembered something, the scene in Chang'an was still vivid, he and the eldest grandson Bozhong had checked, and then overheard General Yuan's words by the Kunming pool, and then he understood.

It seems that this situation is very similar to the scene in Chang'an.

"Let's go, take General Ben to check." Yang Wen was about to leave as he spoke, turned back to Li Tianqi and said, "Apocalypse, if you are injured, ......"

"General Yang, I've seen this thing, take me with you, this little injury won't get in the way." Li Tianqi seemed resolute.

"Good. Without further ado, let's go over and see. Yang Wen took the spear and strode forward.

It was a dense forest on the outskirts of the city, and along the way, you could see the scimitars deliberately dropped by the Nanzhao soldiers and the banners of the Turkic soldiers. Before discovering the place where the soldiers were killed was in the canyon, there were some Tang soldiers guarding the side with apprehension on their faces, and the fear in their hearts could be seen.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were rolling, which was quite gloomy, which increased the pressure in Tang Jun's heart.

Yang Wen and Li Tianqi hurried over here with a team of soldiers.
